Just for fun. These aren't the greatest pics, but I just find it fascinating how different chins from the same litter can be, and I'm not talking about mutations or markings.

This litter was born October 6th, 2008 out of two standard parents. At 7 months old, they're all looking good.

Daisy was the runt of sorts. She was a good 10g smaller. She was shoved aside and needed supplemental hand feeding as well as alone time with mom. She currently weighs in at 606g, now bigger than her brother. She is the lightest of the three and has the least dense fur.

Dora was the pig, always the biggest from the start. She's quite chunky, has longer, dense fur, and is darker than Daisy. Dora currently weighs in at 727g, a full 121g bigger than her sister. I'd say her biggest fault is fur strength, though her's is not too terrible.

Dake was in the middle size-wise until they hit about 5 1/2 months old. Now at 581g he's the smallest. He's also the darkest. I think his fur is the best out of the three. It's stronger than Dora's and more dense than Daisy's. He's also got the sweetest personality of the three.

Dora will be going to the show and will be staying to live with Ronda. I need to clear some cages right now so it looks like Dake is going to live with Christine. Daisy is for sale.

I also have a younger litter out of the same parents (Audrey and Goliath). One girl is staying here and going to the show, and one boy and one girl are currently for sale, will go to the show if they're still here.
 
That is very interesting, thank you for sharing the pictures. Such cuties!
